The student recognizes and distinguishes computer tools supporting the calculation and design of devices and systems in environmental engineering.
The student knows the standards, guidelines, principles of designing environmental engineering objects and their elements and their incorporation in engineering practice.
The student is able to obtain information from literature, databases and other sources; is able to integrate the obtained information, interpret and critically evaluate it, as well as draw conclusions and formulate and exhaustively justify opinions.
The student is able to prepare and present a presentation on the implementation of a project or research task and conduct a discussion on the presented presentation.
The student is able, in accordance with the given specification, to design a complex device, object, system or process in the field of environmental engineering and to implement this project (at least in part) using appropriate methods, techniques and tools, including adapting existing or developing new tools for this purpose.
The student is able to properly define the priorities for the implementation of the tasks set by himself or others.

In the event of suspension of the functioning of the University, the following forms of crediting will be carried out with the use of distance learning methods and techniques ensuring their control.

Conditions for completing the diploma seminar:
• attendance at classes (in accordance with the BUT Studies Regulations),
• preparation of presentations included in the seminar program (number, topic, scope and the presentation schedule is set by the leader of a given seminar group),
• participate in discussions during the presentations of other students.

The following elements are assessed:
• presentation / presentations (content correctness, structure and time maintenance speeches, dynamics of presentation and use of visualization methods);
• activity (active participation in discussions during the presentation of other students).
Each element is assessed according to the current rating system (2.0; 3.0; 3.5; 4.0; 4.5; 5.0).
The final grade for the seminar is determined on the basis of:
• grades from the presentation (arithmetic mean of all grades, if in the program the seminar will include several presentations);
• evaluation of the activity (issued in the last class as a summary of the work throughout the semester).
Passing the seminar is possible only after receiving positive marks for the presentations and for being active. If both grades are positive, then the final grade from the seminar is determined from the weighted average of the component ratings:
presentation grade x 0.8 + activity grade x 0.2
The result of the weighted average of the component grades is translated into the final grade for the seminar according to the rules presented below:
Weighted average grade Grade from the diploma seminar
3.00 - 3.24 3.0
3.25 - 3.75 3.5
3.76 - 4.25 4.0
4.26 - 4.75 4.5
4.76 - 5.00 5.0
In the event of a failing grade for activity and/or presentation, the student receives an unsatisfactory grade in the diploma seminar.
